Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces orange roughy fillets
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the orange roughy fillets dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
In another small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the chopped parsley and olive oil. Sprinkle this breadcrumb mixture evenly over the fillets, creating a light crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the fish to rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the baked orange roughy warm with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
